Where does the “Strong Men, Strong Destinies” meme come from?
According to Il Post, Luciano Spalletti first said “Uomini forti, destini forti. Uomini deboli, destini deboli. Non c’è altra strada” in September 2016, when he returned to Roma after an earlier spell from 2005 to 2009. The same paper links the line to a passage in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. Spread on social media, it became his slogan, repeated at Napoli and then at Juventus. In 2025 Napoli fans even unfurled a banner reading “Uomini infami, destini infami” against him.
